My last road lamp, unless I can find a GWR White version.
No date and no burner. But the build tells me it is mid design build unit. But I can't find out why it is green.
Red and Yellow Road works.
White are railways.
Green no idea.
Most of the dents and dings removed, without loosing the history. 2 pack body filler and a coat of useless Hamerite rust converting primmer. I had a can left. It was as useless as the first.
The lenses were a pain to de rust. The glass lenses was stuck. Here de rusted and a coat off filler primer. The rub down on the body and theses was with brown scotch-brite.
There is a few small touch up bits what accrued on the rebuild. But that is small fry.

They said they couldn't get one.
They use it to run around a quarry site so the whole thing will be scrap in a year.....it's half way there already.

Nice work Wyndid you cut circlip groves in the refabbed yolk or just spot weld the UJ cups in place ?
Bob
The plan was to do it on the lathe and have circlip grooves................it ended up with a rotabroach for the holes and welding a washer in to hold the cups.
Drilled the holes first and an aluminium rod to line it all up.

Tried a new to me drill today, so good on tubes without wandering. Less burrs on the inside too.
Will buy more of these.
Used a similar type a long time ago for sheet metal. They were great for larger diameters to avoid the typical triangular shape so I assume this one will do well too.
As good as new after 40 holes
